Broken Expression Evaluator?
« on: August 13, 2005, 10:04:32 am »

Is the Expression Evaluator working in MC 11.0.311?  My 'File Exists?' expression isn't working anyway;



As you can see from the status bar, MC can find the file..  The expression I'm using is:  if(IsMissing(), No, Yes).

try if(ismissing([filename]),yes,no)

myself, I figured that if I was checking for missing files, the "no" results are redundant and wouldn't ever be clicked on. to that end, I set mine up like so....



which returns a list of nothing but missing library entries.

That got me for a bit as well ?

They deprecated FileExists some time back.

That got 'er!  Thanks Marko.  By the way, what is that usage of square brackets and '=' sign?  It's not from the DB Expressions help page I'm sure..  Is it a special format for MC Search fields, like in smartlists?

Got it in one :)

To use an expression in a search, do this: [=EXPRESSION]=
Example to find missing files: [=FileExists([Filename])]=0
